as many of you know from reading my facebook posts, my home studio took a bit of a hit from the heavy rains that came through over the weekend...believe it or not we are still waiting for the insurance adjuster to come out, but thanks to the speedy work of the guys that dried out the the room. i am fully dysfunctional!

here's some of the pics

Gorgeous pages! I love the combination of that muted background with the bright pops of colors in those flowers. Thanks for sharing such fabulous inspiration! Bummer to hear about your water damage! Hope nothing was ruined and it can be fixed soon.

I'm so sorry...your beautiful studio! I too have had this wonderful experience and years later, I still do not have everything out of boxes...we had to move out of the space to repair flooring. Take care. Patience is the key.

Oh, I hate about your studio and the water damage. That had to have been like almost total devestation, I know that is how I would have felt if it had been my studio, work room, whatever we may call our inspiration, working room. Love, love these stamps and all that wonderful color. I must, must order at least two or three of these gelatos to try out!

Hi donna honey, loved this inspiration Wednesday! I also love (it made me smile!!) that you were playing with water, misting your stamps, after all the probs you've had with water in the last few days! Bless your heart. Hugs xx

I would have loved to use the gelatos. Unfortunately, there are a lot of products that are available in United States but not in Canada. The gelatos are a perfect example, and they just look so yummy and beautiful. No wonder you went to your happy place. The flowers are beautiful! Karen :)

I love this page Donna! The colors are great and love that Starbucks touch you added. I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy watching these Inspiration Wednesday videos. Thanks so much for doing them.

WOW! Loved what you did last time you stamped with Gelatos but really like this! I have some of the metallics & they are lovely! Beautiful page in your journal! Really love how it all came together! Thx for sharing!

I wonder if you have any idea of the powerful POSITIVE impact you have on me (and others, I am sure). Despite having your life and studio disrupted, you are so HAPPY and it just flows into the world ... you go girl!

Your Inspiration Wed. was AWESOME!!! Loved the flower stamps and the gelatos- will have to find them!!! I feel your "pain" on the water damage. I was gone for two weeks, came home walking in water, my craft room ceiling was on the floor. Lots of damage,out of my room for 3 weeks but what a "WOW" room I got afterwards. There is always a silver lining if you just look for it !!!! Thanks for all your inpiration.

Wow! Fabulous pages - love the color scheme and the soft watercolor look to the whole thing. Beautiful! It pained me to see your gorgeous wall poppies cut into.... Yikes! That rain was certainly crazy last weekend. Thanks for letting me spend it in your Studios - I had an AMAZING time!!!!

I'm sorry your studio has water damage. Thank you both to you and your husband for giving us Inspiration Wedneday despite the damage! The pages are cool! I love the smooging and smooshing! The video was very clear and bright also!
(shot in different light maybe?) I am inspired again!

Wowzer! Seriously Donna... loving what you did yesterday! 2 word... GELATOS gottahavethem :)!
Hang in there and hopefully your lovely studio will get back top notch soon!
Take care!
Stéphanie in Ottawa! oui oui the french friend!

I should have known but I didn't know you were SO ADORABLE!!! I absolutely love your art, I think you are amazing. You also cracked me up in this video - I felt so happy right along with you!! I too am sorry for your water damage - hope it's fixed soon. It was really awesome to see the finished product first and then see your process. Too cool!! Thank you!!

Love your stampimg ideas....just the way I put stuff together....the pages with the gelatos are reallly fantastic. Reminds me of some million dollar paintings made easy! Where did you get the bright poppies that are on your studio wall? I love those and have been looking for them!
Thanks

Your studio looks great. You have a colorful studio. I like the wallpaper that you put on. It seems like that you have a peaceful place but it sad that the water damage came out. Looks like that you are renovating your studio.
